Good Times Restaurants Reports Q2 Results

Good Times Restaurants Inc. (NASDAQ: GTIM), operator of Good Times Burgers & Frozen Custard, a regional quick service restaurant chain focused on fresh, high quality, all natural products and Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar, a full service, upscale concept today announced its preliminary unaudited financial results for the second fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2015.
Key highlights of the Company’s financial results include:
Same store sales for company-owned Good Times restaurants increased 8.3% for the quarter on top of last year’s increase of 17.8%, the twentieth consecutive quarter of increasing same store sales
Restaurant Level Operating Profit for Good Times restaurants increased $224,000 or 27.5% over last year during the quarter (see schedule below)
Restaurant Level Operating Profit for the three Colorado Bad Daddy’s restaurants was $288,000 or 14.3% of sales during the quarter (see schedule below) The Company’s second restaurant continues to generate the highest average weekly sales in the Bad Daddy’s system and had a Restaurant Level Operating Profit margin of 24.5% for the quarter
The Restaurant Level Operating Profit margin for Good Times restaurants increased by 160 basis points to 15.7% from 14.1% last year (see schedule below)
Preopening costs related to the development of new Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar restaurants in Colorado and a new Good Times restaurant were $185,000 during the quarter
Net Loss for the quarter decreased to $361,000 from $425,000 last year, with an increase in general and administrative expenses of $224,000 from last year related to Bad Daddy’s development, stock compensation expense and an increase in investor relations expenses and an expense of $197,000 in acquisition costs related to the acquisition of Bad Daddy’s International that was announced subsequent to the quarter’s end
The Company ended the quarter with $11.4 million in cash plus assets held for sale of $1.1 million. Subsequent to the quarter’s end, the Company announced the closing of a sale-leaseback for those assets that generated net proceeds of $1.52 million
The Company opened a new Good Times restaurant on May 7, 2015 in Aurora, Colorado, a suburb of Denver

Boyd Hoback, President & CEO said, “We continue to see good profit flow through at Good Times on our incremental sales growth. Bad Daddy’s sales and operating margins are doing very well, especially considering some excess labor costs we’re carrying at the store level to both adequately staff our most recent restaurant opening and to support the training to manage the four new restaurants we plan on opening by the end of the calendar year. Of particular note is that the $288,000 restaurant level profit in the quarter for our three Bad Daddy’s included significantly higher opening labor for the new store that opened on January 7, 2015. Sales at our newest Good Times and Bad Daddy’s are exceeding the system averages, and we are excited to accelerate our new restaurant growth of both concepts. The new Good Times we opened in Aurora incorporates our new prototype design that supports our high quality, all natural brand statement and could help position us to grow beyond our core Colorado markets.“
Hoback added, “We had cable television advertising running in the months of March and April featuring our Hatch Valley New Mexico Green Chile Breakfast Burritos for the first time and saw our breakfast sales climb each week with an increase of over 20% from the prior year during that time. We announced the rollout of all natural, nitrate free bacon by May 1st that completes our 100% all natural protein platform, with television advertising support beginning the week of May 11th.”
On May 7, 2015, the Company reported that it had successfully completed a public offering of 2,783,810 shares of common stock, which included the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, at $8.15 per share for net proceeds, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses, of approximately $20.7 million. Simultaneously and using the proceeds of the common stock offering, Good Times closed the purchase of all of the ownership interests in Bad Daddy’s International, LLC, which owns the Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar concept and ownership interests in seven Bad Daddy’s Burger Bar restaurants, for a total purchase price of $21 million consisting of $18.5 million of cash and a promissory note in the amount of $2.5 million.
Regarding Bad Daddy’s development, Hoback said, “We plan to open four additional Bad Daddy’s restaurants by the end of the calendar year while we integrate the acquisition of Bad Daddy’s International and its seven North Carolina restaurants. That gives us a platform for accelerated growth in 2016 and 100% ownership and control of the brand. We expect our annualized consolidated revenue run rate will be approximately $65 million to $70 million by the end of calendar 2015, and we plan to begin to provide more guidance for 2016 development next quarter as we fill our pipeline of new sites.”

Certain percentage amounts in the table above do not total due to rounding as well as the fact that restaurant operating costs are expressed as a percentage of restaurant revenues, as opposed to total revenues.
The Company believes that restaurant-level operating profit is an important measure for management and investors because it is widely regarded in the restaurant industry as a useful metric by which to evaluate restaurant-level operating efficiency and performance. The Company defines restaurant-level operating profit to be restaurant revenues minus restaurant-level operating costs, excluding restaurant closures and impairment costs. The measure includes restaurant level occupancy costs, which include fixed rents, percentage rents, common area maintenance charges, real estate and personal property taxes, general liability insurance and other property costs, but excludes depreciation. The measure excludes depreciation and amortization expense, substantially all of which is related to restaurant level assets, because such expenses represent historical sunk costs which do not reflect current cash outlay for the restaurants. The measure also excludes selling, general and administrative costs, and therefore excludes occupancy costs associated with selling, general and administrative functions, and pre-opening costs. The Company excludes restaurant closure costs as they do not represent a component of the efficiency of continuing operations. Restaurant impairment costs are excluded, because, similar to depreciation and amortization, they represent a non-cash charge for the Company’s investment in its restaurants and not a component of the efficiency of restaurant operations. Restaurant-level operating profit is not a measurement determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should not be considered in isolation, or as an alternative, to income from operations or net income as indicators of financial performance. Restaurant-level operating profit as presented may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. The tables above set forth certain unaudited information for the three and six months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014, expressed as a percentage of total revenues, except for the components of restaurant operating costs, which are expressed as a percentage of restaurant revenues.

Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of operating performance that does not represent and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or cash flow from operations, as determined by GAAP, and our calculation thereof may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. This measure is presented because we believe that investors' understanding of our performance is enhanced by including this non-GAAP financial measure as a reasonable basis for evaluating our ongoing results of operations.
Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as net income before interest expense, provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization and further adjustments to reflect the additions and eliminations presented in the table above.
Adjusted EBITDA is presented because: (i) we believe it is a useful measure for investors to assess the operating performance of our business without the effect of non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization expenses and asset disposals, closure costs and restaurant impairments and (ii) we use adjusted EBITDA internally as a benchmark for certain of our cash incentive plans and to evaluate our operating performance or compare our performance to that of our competitors. The use of adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure permits a comparative assessment of our operating performance relative to our performance based on our GAAP results, while isolating the effects of some items that vary from period to period without any correlation to core operating performance or that vary widely among similar companies. Companies within our industry exhibit significant variations with respect to capital structures and cost of capital (which affect interest expense and income tax rates) and differences in book depreciation of property, plant and equipment (which affect relative depreciation expense), including significant differences in the depreciable lives of similar assets among various companies. Our management believes that adjusted EBITDA facilitates company-to-company comparisons within our industry by eliminating some of these foregoing variations. Adjusted EBITDA as presented may not be comparable to other similarly-titled measures of other companies, and our presentation of adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by excluded or unusual items.
